Beyond Community: Designing Pathways to Belonging
with Cat Johnson
Community is one of the most talked about, and least defined, ideas in coworking.
Drawing on research in belonging, social connection, and human behavior, this interactive roundtable explores a different question: What actually helps people move from simply sharing a workspace to genuinely feeling like they belong?
Together, we’ll examine why occupancy doesn’t automatically create connection, why different members need different pathways into community, red flags preventing connection in your space, and how coworking operators can intentionally design environments where meaningful relationships are more likely to emerge.
